An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Condor was designed to complete remote-controlled, high altitude missions. In its historic flight, the Condor stayed aloft for over two-and-a-half days at an altitude of 66,980 feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Condor was built with carbon-fiber composite materials, and had a wingspan of 200 feet. Two custom-built three-bladed Hartzell propellers gave the Condor the boost and durability it needed to reach its unprecedented altitude. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although the Condor was ultimately deemed too large for stealth missions, its record-breaking achievements were remembered for years to come. The Condor spurred huge advancements in aerodynamics, UAV technology, and propulsion, leading the way for progress in military, commercial, and civilian UAV aircraft.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Boeing Condor was just the beginning of Hartzell\u2019s experience designing high-performance UAV propellers.
